③His mother said to me,“He can't go to school.” →His mother told me that he couldn't go to school.
(3)、从句动词时态的变化
a.如果主句的时态是一般过去时,从句的时态则应是与主句时态相应的过去时态.①一般现在时→一般过去时;②一般过去时→过去完成时;③现在进行时→过去进行时;④现在完成时→过去完成时;⑤过去完成时→过去完成时(不变);⑥一般将来时→过去将来时.例如:
The girl said,“I'm sorry for being late for class.” →The girl said that she was sorry for being late for class.
b.直接引语变为间接引语时,如果主句中的谓语动词是一般现在时或一般将来时,则间接引语从句的时态保持不变.例如:
He says,“I have finished my homework.” →He says that he has finished his homework.
She will say,“I'll do it tomorrow.” →She will say that she'll do it the next day.
c.直接引语如果是客观事实或真理,变为间接引语时,从句时态不变.例如:
The teacher said,“The earth moves around the sun.” →The teacher said that the earth moves around the sun.
(4)、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化
直接引语变为间接引语时,指示代词的变化为this→that,these→those等;时间状语的变化为now→then,today→that day,yesterday→the day before,tomorrow→the next day等;地点状语的变化为here→there;动词的变化为come→go(go 不要变come).例如:
1.She said,“I will come this evening.” →She said that she would go that evening.
2.He said,“My sister was here three days ago,but she is not here now.” →He said that his sister had been there three days before,but she was not there then.
B.表示请求或祈使的句子改为句型tell/ask/order sb (not) to do sth
当直接引语引号里的内容表示要求时用tell sb (not) to do sth
当直接引语引号里的内容表示请求时用ask sb (not) to do sth
当直接引语引号里的内容表示强制要求时用order sb (not) to do sth
